Run the
painting comp.
Grow the brand.
Painting Competitions turns painters into marketing-consented email subscribers — then turns those subscribers into customers who've already entered, opted in, and shown you the work they're proud of.
Popups beg for attention.
Painting competitions earn it.
A discount popup interrupts a shopper. A painting competition invites them in. The difference shows up everywhere — signup rate, open rate, purchase rate, lifetime value.
Add thousands of warm emails — in a weekend.
A pop-up converts at 2–4% on a good day. A painting competition with a prize people actually want converts at 20–40%. Same traffic, ten times the list.
Painters who enter your competition buy from your brand.
Every entrant gives you their email, uploads their best piece, and engages with your story before they ever see a product. That's not a lead — that's a pre-sold customer.
Gallery voting that turns entrants into evangelists.
Open the entries up to public gallery voting. Painters rally their friends to back their work — and every share brings new entrants to your competition, without you paying for the impression.
Turn a one-off competition into a loyalty engine.
Run a fresh painting competition each season — new categories, new themes, new judges. One audience, multiple touchpoints, compounding LTV.
Design the ads without a designer.
The built-in AI Ad Studio turns your painting competition into on-brand creative — describe it, drop in a product photo, and get 50 ready-to-post ads. No agency, no Canva, no waiting.
One competition.
Wildly different outcomes.
Pre-launch hype
Build a waitlist for a drop. Reward early entrants with featured gallery placement. Launch day, you've got thousands of warm painters — not strangers.
List CPR
Stale Klaviyo list? Run a painting competition. Watch your active subscriber count snap back. Re-engage cold contacts without burning sender reputation.
Showcase your range
Set categories around your products and let painters submit pieces made with them. Every entry is a real-world demo of what your range can do.
Always-on UGC
Photo + video painting entries generate a steady stream of customer-painted content. Ad-ready, social-ready, free.
A grand on prizes.
Ten grand in pipeline.
Hand out one $500 prize. Drive 3,000 entrants through paid and organic. You walk away with 3,000 emails that opted in specifically to hear from you about your products — at a CPL the rest of your ad stack can't touch. Then your Klaviyo flow does the rest.
